Study Notes

Traffic Rules and Safety

Everybody needs to follow traffic rules to ensure safety on the roads.
Traffic signs are used to remind people of the rules and help prevent accidents.

Understanding Traffic Signs

Four traffic signs are presented to understand their meanings and importance.
Students are encouraged to play a game where they place the signs around the classroom and pretend to drive a high-speed train.

Traffic Safety and Control

As a police officer, it's essential to control the flow of traffic and ensure drivers slow down or stop when approaching marked areas.
Students are asked to identify what they saw after the train passed each stop and think about how they would solve the problem.

Creating Traffic Signs

Students are encouraged to create their own traffic signs or models to help keep people safe in traffic.
They should place their creations along the track and explain why they placed them in specific locations.

Understanding Distance

Distance can be measured by counting steps between two points
Comparing distances helps determine which one is longer or shorter
Simple math is used to calculate distances

Measuring Distance with Coding Express

Coding Express Set and App are used to measure distance
Building cards are used to build models alongside a double-ended track
The app shows how far the train moves when each number is pressed

Vehicles and Distance

Different vehicles are used for different distances (e.g., bikes, cars, airplanes)
Airplanes or buses are used for longer distances
Walking or biking is used for shorter distances

Building More Stops

Children can build more stops and decide the distance between them
Questions to ask:
- Which distance is the shortest/longest between the stops and how long is it?
- Can you describe the path of the train's journey?
